Violent Circulars Being Distributed.
New YORK, September 1.-THE
streets were flooded this morning with
Anarchist circulars, denouncing the
Chicago authorities and the Illinois
Supreme Court. The circulars are
printed in English and German The
following is a copy Of one of them:
AMERICANS AROUSE.
Free speech is about to be buried in
the cofins of seven martyrs to the
cause Of labor. A reasonable con-
spiracy is now in operation to murder
all who dare speak in behalf of the
robbed and oppressed workers.
A grand mass-meeting will be held
Monday evening, September 10, at
Cooper Union, to protest against the
death sentence pronounced upon the
seven workingmen in Chicago. Prom
inent advocates of the labor cause will
speak in English and German.
FEDERATION OF TRADES UNION.
Another is addressed to the work.
ingmen of the United States of North
America, and says:
"You have heard the Supreme Court
decision in the Chicago Anarchist tri-
al. It strikes like a thunderbolt in
the heart of every free man.
The Judges who have affirmed the
sentence stand on level with the no.
torious police bandit, Captain Bon
field; with the barbarous prosecutor,
Ebersold; with the monumental per-
jurer, Shack; with the corrupt jury,
with the tiger of the bar, Grinnell; !;
and with the scoundrel Of all scoun-
drels, with Gary, the manager Of the
greatest Judiciary crime of our times.
Our comrades, Spies, Parsons,
Schwab, Fielden, Lingg, Fischer and
Engel, are to expire on the gallows,
while Neebe must be doomed to death
in dungeon.
American workers, will you suffer
this outrage to be flung in your face?
1t must never be.
Arise in your imposing might and
let your righteous wrath fall in an
unmistakable protest upon the heads
of those Interpreters of the law who
have basely betrayed their trust.
The aims and purposes Of Anarch-
ism have been blackguarded and viii
fed by the fiends Of humanity, who
feast upon your servitude. You will
know how to guard against such SLAM
der and assert your own manhood.
Anarchism is neither bloodshed, IL
centiousness nor negation of evely
human principle. It is synonymous
with humanity, freedom and justice.
The crime for which the seven
men in Chicago are to be hanged is
purely a devotion to these high and
noble aspirations.
The beasts of capital will see blood.
Now you must demonstrate your
solidarity-the strength Of your Or
ganization.
If you wish to do so you can pre-
vent the consummation on November
II Of this terrible deed to which the
deeds Of cannibals are as nothing.
We demand that every man do his
duty, and that you say to this rabble
of thieves and murderers which rule
you: "Thus far and no farther
Indignation meetings must be called
and held as quickly as possible.
Above ALL. it is necessary that the
Interpreters Of the Constitution at
Washington be spurred to pass upon
this judicial murder proposed at Chi
cago.
The Judgment of blood is not yet
executed.
Let every man do his duty and it
never will be.
Long live the Solidarity.
Down with barbarism.
FEDERATION OF TRADES UNIONS"
George A. Schilling, Chairman of
the Anarchists Defense Committee,
arrived last night from Chicago. He
comes to this city primarily to consult
the great lawyers in the East-Inger-
soil, Prior and Butler. and perhaps
others-but will use the occasion to
arouse the interest Of the workingmen
in the case, and to urge upon them
the necessity of providing funds. He
brought with him copies Of the briefs
of Captain Black, the prisoners coun-
sci, and of District Attorney Grinnell,
as we'll as copies of the decision Of the
Supreme Court.
To reporter he said: 1--WE propose
to bring the matter before the U. S.
Supreme Court, if possible, and we are
assured that we have a good case. 1
am here to consult with various law
yers in relation to the matter, and try
to retain one of them"
